Israeli Ultra-Orthodox Say They Won’t Be Drafted

AP

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu greets Orthodox soldiers in the Nahal Haredi unit.

Ultra-Orthodox parties inside Israel’s government say they will oppose any new law that would apply Israel’s compulsory military draft to ultra-Orthodox men — a stance that bodes ill for the stability of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling coalition.

Blog: Sushi Hamantaschen Recipe

by Chanie Apfelbaum – Busy in Brooklyn

Anyone who reads my blog knows that I’m just not that big a baker. So when Purim comes around, I’m not about to make my own hamantaschen. The bakery stuff is good enough for me. I still like to get into the Purim spirit, so coming up with something that has three corners (reminiscent of Haman’s three-cornered hat) is a must. Last year, I made these puff pastry ones, filled with sauteed spinach, cabbage, and pumpkin fillings. This year, I knew I had to step it up.

Kids Take Time to Thank Teaneck Police

NJ Record

Rabbi Michoel Goldin helping, from left, Joshua Kohn, 7, Adam Cohen, 8, and Noam Stern, 8, from the Teaneck Chabad House, deliver thank-you drawings to police Sunday at the Teaneck police station.

Visiting a police station is a common rite of childhood. But going to a police department to say thank you is not common, said Yehudah Kohn of Teaneck. Which was why he brought his son Joshua, 7, to an event Sunday sponsored by Chabad of Teaneck in which children made thank you cards and gifts and brought them to Teaneck police officers.

Three years later, the loss is still palpable. On Daled Adar, a month our sages note is filled with simcha, nine year old Levi Yitzchak Wolowik returned his Soul to the Creator. His memory is most appropriately honored at the Levi Yitzchak Library and Family Center in Cedarhurst, an exuberant place where children and young adults can enjoy great Jewish books and other wholesome and fun activities.

Crown Heights [CHI] — A Crown Heights Bochur, who will be getting married next week, was walking with a friend toward Prospect Park last night. As they were passing the botanical gardens, a large group of about 30 African–American teenagers passed them by, snickering and shouting Anti-Semitic epithets which cannot be repeated on this website.

Lessons in Education: Encouragement

CrownHeights.info is happy to present the first in a series of short pieces on Chinuch by Rabbi Nochem Kaplan. In the inaugural segment he discusses “The power of positive attention”. He posits that a few encouraging words are the best motivator and the best reward for children. Complimenting children for following rules and good behavior and telling them that we are proud of them almost guarantees that it will be repeated.
